FL University Recruiting Versus the College Powerhouses

Recommended Posts

For each school below, I have listed the number of states from which they have a player(s) on their roster.  For states represented by 3 or more players on the roster, I have listed the exact number of players.  Some observations:

  • The 10 non-Florida universities below have 94 Florida kids on their rosters.
  • Relatively speaking, FSU & Miami are not getting as many FL players as their FL counterparts.
  • The states of Texas and Georgia(GA Tech has 74 GA players) appear to keep a lot of their better players 
  • Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St and Notre Dame have very diverse recruiting geographies.

 

Florida Gators(players from 17 states)-Florida-81, Georgia-7, Alabama-7, Texas-5, Virginia-3

FSU(players from 16 states)-Florida-62, Georgia-18, North Carolina-3, Maryland/DC-3, Virginia-3, California-3

Miami Hurricanes(players from 20 states)-Florida-67, Georgia-8, Alabama-3, Texas-3,  New York-3

Looked at that way, the Florida schools keep a lot of Florida talent, overall. However, a number of our better players do go out of state. Also interesting is the fact that the schools with broad recruiting geography seem do very well with Alabama being the extreme outlier in that area.

Of last year's top 25 seniors in Florida, 16 went out of state.  Compare that versus Texas, where 18 of their top 25 seniors last year went to a Texas university(including 14 of their top 15).

Prior to 2005, FL universities routinely got 8 or more of the top 10 FL hs players.   That number reached an all-time low this past year, when only 3 of Florida's top 10 chose a FL university.  Some interesting observations:

  • In 2002 and 2004, 28 of the top 35 FL hs recruits went to a FL university.  In 2018, 19 of the top 35 did so. 
  • In 2001, FSU got an amazing 8 of the top 12 players in the state, including the top 3.  In 2018, FSU got 2 of the top 30(#10 and #20).

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
